       Secy of State #MarcoRubio outlined plans to drastically reorganize the #State dept, saying it was “beholden to radical political ideology.”  The overhaul at the nation’s diplomatic agency will include the elimination of the office of the under secretary for #civilian #security, #democracy & #HumanRights.#NationalSecurity #law #USpol https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/politics/state-department-cuts-rubio.html?smid=url-share

       #MarcoRubio released the plan in the form of an organizational chart and a brief official #statement, w/few other details. The move is the latest by #Trump’s admin to downsize & reshape the government to a degree unseen in generations, which critics have called a shortsightedly blunt assault on the federal bureaucracy.#State #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories

       In the announcement, #MarcoRubio did not give more information on the ideology or ideas to which he objected, but the chart & a Substack post revealed some of his thinking. The most drastic change is the elimination of the office of the under secretary for #civilian #security, #democracy & #HumanRights, which is charged with advancing American values around the world.#Trump #State #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #TrumpPurge #TrumpCoup

       @Nonilex Well, clearly the USA doesn't do THAT anymore.

       Some elements of that office, including a bureau for #democracy & #HumanRights & one for #refugees, would be cut & *folded into* an office for foreign assistance & #humanitarian aid [the same one they folded USAID into] acc/to the reorganization chart posted on the #State Department website.#Trump #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #TrumpPurge #TrumpCoup

       @Nonilex more like "folded, spindled, and mutilated" than "folded into"...

       The State department released an internal fact sheet that provided more details on Mr. Rubio’s plan, including reducing the agency’s total number of offices from 734 to 602, or by 17%. It also said that Mr. Rubio had instructed senior officials to deliver plans soon to reduce the number of U.S.-based employees by 15%.#Trump #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #TrumpPurge #TrumpCoup

       The New York Times reported on Sunday on a draft document labeled an “executive order” that outlined plans for a drastic restructuring of the #State department, including cutting the entire office of the under secretary for #civilian #security, #democracy & #HumanRights & many other parts of the agency.#Trump #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #TrumpPurge #TrumpCoup https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/us/politics/trump-state-department-overhaul.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=p&pvid=A2810FE2-C5BE-44FF-BD1A-DF09F1C597DE

       On a new #State Department account on Substack on Tuesday, #MarcoRubio wrote that the bureau for #democracy, #HumanRights & #labor had become a “platform for left-wing activists to wage vendettas” against conservative leaders — including those in Poland, Hungary & Brazil — & to try to promote an arms embargo against Israel.#Trump #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #TrumpPurge #TrumpCoup

       #Rubio accused the bureau for population, #refugees & #migration of sending millions of taxpayer dollars to nongovernment groups that had promoted mass migration, including “the invasion on our southern border.” The language echoed #Trump’s, & Rubio did not provide evidence for any of his assertions.#State #NationalSecurity #law #ConspiracyTheories #USpol #TrumpPurge #TrumpCoup

       @Nonilex Ironic and self-deluding from the son of non-US citizen MIGRANTS who were not citizens at the time of his birthright citizenship, and the grandson of a genuine Cuban "illegal" IMMIGRANT who entered the US in 1962 without papers, was arrested by Immigration and set for deportation back to Fidel's Cuba until he was suddenly reclassed as a "parolee" and became a Green Card in 1966. Yes, the Kennedy and Johnson admins were too woke for little Marco.

       @Nonilex That is the face of a man being blackmailed.  I don't know what they are using as leverage on him, but I hope we all live long enough to find out.
